Crossword Genius

Get in trouble a little bit (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tinge

'a little bit' is the definition.
(a tinge is a little bit)

'get in trouble' is the wordplay.
'trouble' indicates anagramming the letters.
'get'+'in'='getin'
'getin' is an anagram of 'TINGE'.

(Other definitions for tinge that I've seen before include "suggestion" , "Colour slightly; trace" , "Suffuse" , "A smack" , "A suspicion" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
